The new Sky Cipher comes in a smaller package that does not contain single-use plastic.
The new Xbox controller was released, and when it was created the company was very careful to ensure that no single-use plastic was used for the packaging of the product.

To this end, no single-use plastic was used in the packaging – unlike previous editions – and the paper-based user manual was replaced with a QR code indicating the digital version.
In total, the packaging became 22 percent smaller and 21 percent lighter, which does not seem like much, but all these measures contribute to the company being one step closer to the meet their climate goals. Microsoft did not release a photo of the package itself, but it will be clear after the release on August 13 at the latest.

This was also served by last year’s measurement that their consoles are delivered to customers in energy saving mode by default.
In 2019, Microsoft launched 825,000 climate neutral consoles as part of a test program. Then two dozen video game companies came together to support the “Playing for the Planet” campaign, which aimed to help raise awareness of climate change and implement various measures to save the planet. .
